A Poorly Done ‘Slip-N-Fall’ Scam
What’s normally involved when suing a store involves a realistic fall in the store. In one case, there was a step caught on camera before one lady slipped. Images captured by a surveillance camera inside a Florida store shows a woman lose her footing in one of the aisles and takes a nasty fall. A store worker comes to her aid and helps her up. The woman then loses her footing again and falls to the floor. The store manager Luis Diaz noted there was something strange about the ‘accident’ after viewing the tape. “When she’s falling, she’s not falling backward, she’s falling forward,” said Diaz, “usually when it’s a slip and fall, you tend to fall backward.” Diaz decided to do a little investigating on his own and rewound the surveillance tape back even more, and what he found surprised him. On the tape, the same woman, in the same aisle, minutes before her ’slip and fall’ accident. On the tape, the woman appears to be trying to open a bottle of olive oil unsuccessfully.
Why She Failed: Step 1) Locate olive oil aisle. Step 2) Attempt to open olive oil. Fail. Step 3) Come back in a few minutes. Step 4) Open a new bottle of olive oil, pour it on the floor. Step 5) Come back in a few minutes. Pretend to fall miserably.
#1 Rule to never forget, watch out for cameras, dumb@ss!
